    In your deepest voice: “Alonnisos”

    July 30, 2023 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    One thing we’ll never forget from Skopelos is the awesome announcements from one of the bus drivers of the stops he was approaching.

    In a deep, gravely voice: “Pahh-norr-mooss”, “Skop-eee-loosss” 😁

    So even islands reached by boat now are announced the same way in Dale’s mind 🤣

    And so it was we headed to “A-lonn-i-soooss” for our last day in the Sporades islands.

    On a tricked out ferry (well, I’m sure it was considered tricked out at some stage) we headed over and jumped on a bus up to the old town.
    A cute little village that was built right up against a cliff face at the very top of a hill to help defend from pirates 🏴‍☠️

    We only really had time for some quick shopping and some ice cream though - oh, and to get lost in the winding streets for a bit 😳 - before we jumped back onto our ferry and headed to our next stop at Leftos Beach for an afternoon of swimming.
    Ariah loved this stop as she got to jump off the very top of the ferry into the water!!

    We headed back to Skopelos late afternoon and decided to head over to a restaurant overlooking the sea and at the base of the ruins of a Venetian castle and listen to the traditional Greek music being played by the locals. ❤️🇬🇷
